dm cache: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_cache_metadata_abort

2023-01-12T10:58:52+00:00

commit 352b837a5541690d4f843819028cf2b8be83d424 upstream. Same ABBA deadlock pattern fixed in commit 4b60f452ec51 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata") to DM-cache's metadata.

dm cache metadata: Fix loading discard bitset

2019-04-18T20:18:25+00:00

Add missing dm_bitset_cursor_next() to properly advance the bitset cursor. Otherwise, the discarded state of all blocks is set according to the discarded state of the first block.

dm cache metadata: verify cache has blocks in blocks_are_clean_separate_dirty()

2018-12-07T21:04:09+00:00

Otherwise dm_bitset_cursor_begin() return -ENODATA. Other calls to dm_bitset_cursor_begin() have similar negative checks. Fixes inability to create a cache in passthrough mode (even though doing so makes no sense).

dm cache metadata: ignore hints array being too small during resize

2018-10-04T19:20:51+00:00

Commit fd2fa9541 ("dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to on-disk superblock") enabled previously written policy hints to be used after a cache is reactivated. But in doing so the cache metadata's hint array was left exposed to out of bounds access because on resize the metadata's on-disk hint array wasn't ever extended. Fix this by ignoring that there are no on-disk hints associated with the newly added cache blocks. An expanded on-disk hint array is later rewritten upon the next clean shutdown of the cache.

dm cache metadata: set dirty on all cache blocks after a crash

2018-08-09T16:14:32+00:00

Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt: The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us to keep updating it on the fly. So we treat it as a hint. In normal operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended. If the system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted. This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed the code that consulted cmd->clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk flag) when loading cache blocks. This results in data corruption on an unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device. After the crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the cache at any time. This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable: ### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in ### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied. # xfs_io -d -c 'pwrite -b 4M -S 0xaa 0 1G' /dev/vdb # vgcreate vg_cache /dev/vdb /dev/vdc # lvcreate -L 1G -n lv_slowdev vg_cache /dev/vdb # lvcreate -L 512M -n lv_cachedev vg_cache /dev/vdc # lvcreate -L 256M -n lv_metadev vg_cache /dev/vdc # lvconvert --type cache-pool --cachemode writeback vg_cache/lv_cachedev --poolmetadata vg_cache/lv_metadev # lvconvert --type cache vg_cache/lv_slowdev --cachepool vg_cache/lv_cachedev # xfs_io -d -c 'pwrite -b 4M -S 0xbb 0 512M' /dev/mapper/vg_cache-lv_slowdev # xfs_io -d -c 'pread -v 254M 512' /dev/mapper/vg_cache-lv_slowdev | head -n 2 0fe00000: bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ 0fe00010: bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ # dmsetup status vg_cache-lv_slowdev 0 2097152 cache 8 27/65536 128 8192/8192 1 100 0 0 0 8192 7065 2 metadata2 writeback 2 migration_threshold 2048 smq 0 rw - ^^^^ 7065 * 64k = 441M yet to be written to the slow device # echo b >/proc/sysrq-trigger # vgchange -ay vg_cache # xfs_io -d -c 'pread -v 254M 512' /dev/mapper/vg_cache-lv_slowdev | head -n 2 0fe00000: bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ 0fe00010: bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ # lvconvert --uncache vg_cache/lv_slowdev Flushing 0 blocks for cache vg_cache/lv_slowdev.

dm cache metadata: save in-core policy_hint_size to on-disk superblock

2018-08-07T18:30:30+00:00

policy_hint_size starts as 0 during __write_initial_superblock(). It isn't until the policy is loaded that policy_hint_size is set in-core (cmd->policy_hint_size). But it never got recorded in the on-disk superblock because __commit_transaction() didn't deal with transfering the in-core cmd->policy_hint_size to the on-disk superblock. The in-core cmd->policy_hint_size gets initialized by metadata_open()'s __begin_transaction_flags() which re-reads all superblock fields. Because the superblock's policy_hint_size was never properly stored, when the cache was created, hints_array_available() would always return false when re-activating a previously created cache. This means __load_mappings() always considered the hints invalid and never made use of the hints (these hints served to optimize). Another detremental side-effect of this oversight is the cache_check utility would fail with: "invalid hint width: 0" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm cache: convert dm_cache_metadata.ref_count from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-10-24T19:09:51+00:00

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable dm_cache_metadata.ref_count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

Otherwise it is possible to trigger crashes due to the metadata being inaccessible yet these methods don't safely account for that possibility without these checks. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer
